Book Details
Portable Magic: Decks of smaller tarot cards produce a more manageable ritual layout, and are to be preferred in Tarot magic. In my own work, I use the miniature Rider Waite deck because it can be laid out on a very limited surface area such as a desktop or end table. The size of the tarot cards has no effect on the potency of the magic.
